            Les Stroud

            

            Les Stroud is best known as star hit TV series Survivorman.  The show began in 2000 when Stroud took a few small cameras out into the wilderness of Northern Ontario, Canada and spent a week surviving alone without food, water, equipment or camera crew. He single-handedly created, produced, wrote, filmed, hosted, edited and composed the theme music for these first two original, one-hour pilots for what would eventually become the Survivorman series. He remains the only producer in the history of television to produce an internationally broadcast series entirely written, videotaped and hosted alone. Survivorman has gone on to become the highest rated show in the history of both OLN Canada and the Science Channel US and quickly became one of the most popular shows on the Discovery Channel US. 

Stroud made the 2007 'Top 100 People We Love To Watch' list for Entertainment Weekly magazine. He has appeared on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Canada AM, MTV Live, The View, The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos, as well as Larry King Live.

In addition to his success in film and television, Stroud is an avid musician having released an album with Canada's hit band The Northern Pikes (renamed Les Stroud and The Pikes) and having composed the theme to Survivorman.  Les is an accomplished harmonica player and is featured in the film Pocket Full of Soul.

 
            
        
        
        
        
            
        

        
        
            Jason Ricci and New Blood
            
Jason Ricci and New Blood mix blues, rock, funk, eastern, and jazz 
into a seamless cohesion both eclectic and idiosyncratic while always
avoiding clichè's and histrionics. Television, radio, and literary
critics compare them to acts as diverse as The Rolling Stones, John
Coltrane, and Lou Reed. Modern day parallels also include acts ranging
from Government Mule to Prince and the Revolution. New Blood always
delivers a level of musical virtuosity, while effortlessly keeping the
fun, angst and energy of a Punk Rock band, with the skill, refinement
and reflection typical of a Jazz ensemble. Jason is featured in the film Pocket Full of Soul.
